This week we’re celebrating Pride Month with RfRx host Kara Griffin and the RfRx Team! Kara will take us on a journey through their experience growing up as a non-binary person in a strict evangelical community characterized by black and white thinking. We'll dive into the social sciences to explore how gender and sexuality show up across diverse societies, and discuss the life-saving importance of creating safe, affirming spaces for the LGBTQ+ community. Together, we'll work on shifting the narrative from shame to pride and embrace the beauty of living authentically.

From Superstition to Science: Unmasking the Myths of Tourette Syndrome
Tourette Syndrome has been widely misunderstood throughout history and even today. During the Spanish Inquisition, individuals exhibiting Tourette-like behaviors were sometimes accused of being possessed by demons and tragically burned at the stake. In modern times, people may avoid seeking appropriate treatment because of psychiatric denial, hoping that prayer, positive thoughts, diet, or simply just growing out of it will improve the condition. Join Adrienne Hill as she talks about the sounds, movements and myths surrounding Tourette Syndrome.

What is Orthodox Judaism? An Inside Look From Someone Who Left The Path
Judaism is one of the oldest extant religions, but due to a history of oppression and genocide, the most religious practitioners maintain an insular, almost secretive culture that the average person isn't privy to. Join us for a talk with poet and novelist Daniel Sokoloff, who was part of the ultra-orthodox Jewish communities of Brooklyn and Lakewood, and uses his own deconstruction to help others at Recovering from Religion.Join Us Live Every Monday!https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/rfrxOur Socials:https://linktr.ee/RecoveringFromReligionhttps://www.facebook.com/RecoveringfromReligionhttps://instagram.com/rfrorghttps://www.tiktok.com/@recoveringfromreligionhttps://bsky.app/profile/recoveringfromreligion.orghttps://www.linkedin.com/company/rfrorg
